The only person I ever knew who had it, died from it.

If you don’t know how to research your problem and you don’t know how to figure out the lingo, then you probably get into this trap of feeling intimidated by the medical profession. I hear it all the time. Patients assume doctors are omnipotent and they know everything there is to know about the universe. And I think that’s a dangerous thing for people who are uninformed. It’s a terrible indictment of the patient-physician relationship.

Doctors know how to keep dead people alive.

Anything after that, question what they're doing.

I’ve read that many people carry Lyme for years before symptoms set in — up to 15 years is some cases. And living in the NE, I knew people who had Lyme and was treated myself more than once. In some cases Lyme can be quite bad, even fatal, and supposedly the number of very bad reactions is increasing, but by and large it’s not the next Black Death as the author would have you believe. And furthermore, every time I went to the doc and had had a tick on me, even for less than 24 hours, they preemptively treated me for Lyme, so the medical people are definitely aware of Lyme and take it seriously.

Now it's on the rise, possibly as a result of global warming and “suburbanization.”

No, it's on the rise because deer populations in suburban areas are exploding. Thin the Deer population down, you thin the disease vector down. Not rocket freaking science.

A friend in CT had Lyme disease. He suffered many problems, including arthritis, and neurological symptoms for several years. Finally his insurance said that they do not consider it to be a real disease, and quit paying for his treatment. He ended up paying out of pocket for several months of IV antibiotics, a few bags per day. He had to travel hundreds of miles to visit his doctor, who was being persecuted by the (medical, insurance, feds, I don’t know).

My son has Lyme’s and has myriad side effects from the disease. He is a pharmacist and does medical research as a hobby. He uses natural(herbs, roots, etc.), as medicines from around the world, to treat the joint pain and other effects. He is 46 and has had this for about 5 years.

He went to a specialist in Mobile, AL, and after a couple of rounds of antibiotics, his insurance company balked at another. He produced the evidence that he needed more and they fought him and the doctor. Finally,the AMA pressured the doctor to not prescribe the drugs again, even though other drugs weren’t effective. That happens more offen than not.

He is doing well but Lyme’s Disease never goes away completely and requires lifelong treatment. Most people don’t know that and wind up with Lupus, fibromyalgia, and other auto-immune diseases.

Ten days ( 10 !! ) in the hospital, followed by six weeks of intravenous antibiotics, followed by 6 months of a blur. I woke up almost 7 months after going into the ER and sai, “ahhh...this is what it feels like to live again.”

I kid you not.

And, I was lucky. Only 5% get meningitis symptoms along with everyone else, and it tips them off to check. Others get gradual neurological symptoms and may never recover if caught too late.

Sister had the rash, got treated, and seems ok. THANK GOD.

This is frightening stuff. There’s a short hike I want to take in the Northeast, but never got a chance. I’ll still do it, but I’ll wear a burka for it (or something close).

This screed is a bad joke.

Antibiotics exacerbate Lyme.

Sadly this article IS NOT about Lyme disease, but ALL about the lefty doctor.

Got really sick (after a Tick? who knows it was a convenient excuse at the time, I had a big ol fat one latched in-between my fingers) ... 3 days w/high fever, sweats, chills etc ... (no rash) my MD sent me for many tests and then to a Cardiologist ...
Cardiologist said I was fine but my MD needed to come see him.
May or may not have been anything to do with the Tick, I was clearing Land and was prolly bitten by many many other critters, being over 50 at the time probably had more to do with it than any thing else.
The way I look at it is whatever it was, now I’m probably immune, lets go hunting!

Dr. Jim Howenstein proved in HIS lab that the Herb "Samento" does kill "Borrellia Burgdorferi" and the other pathogen's labeled as "Lyme's Disease".
You have to continue this herb for long periods of time because of the ability of the "Borrellia Burgdorferi" bacteria Pathogen able to burrow so deep into Organs and cell tissue.
The Wild Herb "Sarsaparilla" also kills "Borrelia Burgdorferi".
“Sarsaparilla" grows all over North and South America.
